Photographing Water

Station 2

Station 1

Station 4

Station 3

Station 1 Questions:
1. It was fairly easy to get a good shot because you could see the water well and with the burst you could take a lot of different pictures.
2. I liked that the water was easy to see with the flash on.

Station 2 Questions:
1. No it was very hard to get a good shot because the water was very dark and it was hard to see.
2. I did not like how dark the pictures turned out and how long it took to get a good picture of water without flash.

Station 3 Questions:
1. No it was really hard to get a good shot because our phones would not focus on the water droplets.
2. I liked that there was a variety of pictures, but it was hard to take pictures that were good.

Station 4 Questions:
1. It was very easy to get a good shot because there was a lot of time before the food coloring mixed into the water.
2. We used all 4 food dye colors and it turned out really cool because the top and the bottom were both black and the middle had all the colors mixed.


Our group was always on task when taking pictures and we worked well as a team.

Artificial Motion

1. No the image does not look real because only the tires look like they are moving, the rest of the car is very still.

6 Frame

1. I used my phone camera to take the pictures, the burst mode was easy because I only had to hold down the button to take the pictures and it took the burst for me.
2. The 6th frame is my favorite frame because Kolton has a good follow-through when throwing the lacrosse ball.
3. I like shooting action because you can see a progression of motion across shots.

Taking Action Photographs

1. The image of the cup being hit by the dice is my favorite image.
2. No, the dice and the cup are blurry because they are moving.
3. The angle that the photo was taken from was level with the subject.  I think the angle was the best angle because if it was any lower you wouldn't be able to see the dice and the cup as well.

Broaden Your View Questions

1. A good action/adventure photo is made by a sudden or unexpected moment because it is not something you anticipate will happen which makes the photo more interesting.  It also captures a moment in time which is really cool.

2. Some things that I could photograph that fall under the category of action/adventure photography would be a sporting event or taking pictures of nature.

National Geographic Video Response

1. A picture is iconic when the light, subject, and composition all come together perfectly in a  unique and interesting way.  The picture surpasses its original meaning/event.
2. The three things that every picture must have to stand out are good light, great composition, and it needs to be of something interesting.
